-Why was that show SO LONG??!! Should have been 8-10 pm, to let their stars loose in time to celebrate on NYE! Now they stayed up all night and wrecked their circadian rhythms. SBS needs to protect their acting assets.

-SHS and YSJ should have won BC! Dramas that were dropped by @kokkuri33 should not be eligible for award consideration of any kind (yet "Should We Kiss First" kept winning awards).

-Kudos to the "stage guides" for directing traffic for 4.5 hours. They had their exit-the-stage gestures down, and sufficient endurance for the arduous task. Needed to have someone covering those dangerous steps, though. Definitely a potential liability issue. Glad that SHS was already on the stage, when she got awarded.

-Did SHS at least get to have a snack at halftime? That was way too long to be standing up there. Hopefully, she was able to wear those comfy slippers that she wears when acting opposite vertically-challenged peers, when standing behind that table onstage. Should have been a transparent ergonomic mat there, also.

-In a 4.5 hour show, there should have been a lot more Elijah Lee...

-If some of those speeches were a little longer, SHS would have been hosting for two years in a row!

Wish all of you a happy new﻿ year and more successful year for our Shin Hye Sun.

Yes happy new year already in Asia! Now off to my evening to finish our most happy and memorable drama world 2018 year.

Boy oh boy now I remember why I never watch these - too long. Some parts were just ridiculous, like the segment about DaeSang psych hospital. There were many comments online saying they're enduring the agony in wait for SHS's winning something and because at least SHS was there throughout. Ditto for mee, but between all my running around with family stuff I caught about 50%.

And her always humble and beautiful speech (because it's always straight from her always sincerely grateful and beautiful heart).

(deep breath)Um... Actually just the fact that I got to meet this kid named 'Woo Seo-Ri' through the work '30 but 17' by itself was such a gift to me and...

Spoiler

어... 사실 설은이지만 열일곱 작품에서 제가 우서리란아이를 만난것만으로도 너무선물같았는데,

(looks down)That you would even give me an award such as this, I would like to thank you so much.

Spoiler

이렇게 상까지주시니까 정말 너무나 감사드립니다.

(looks down)
...

While doing Seo-Ri role (acting) I myself truly received much care.

Spoiler

제가 서리를 연기하면서 저도 위함을 참 많이받았어요.

So just like for Seo-Ri, to consider 'what is that happiness which is truly the best (path) for me?', it was a work through which I had chance to ask that once more, it feels like.

Spoiler

그래서 서리처럼 정말 나를위한 행복이 무었인가를하번더 생각해봤었던 작품이었던거 갓고요 ...

So for the people who created such a beautiful and 'nice'*** drama for us - the Cho siblings - Cho Seo-Won director-nim, Cho Sung-Hee writer-nim, I want to thank, and our '30 but 17' all the staff members, you all, suffered much...
***well behaved, no evil character, etc.

Let's get ready for more awards ceremonies for Innocent and 2019 KBS Awards and perhaps another drama after Dan My Only Love in SBS again or even better MBC so that she can get excellence acting awards in all the Big 3 tv stations. Cable tv dramas are good but they don't have their own award ceremony though... hmmm me don't approve because I still want to see her in more award shows

Congratulations to @immorethant winner of the Top E﻿xcellence Award for Monday-Tuesday forum posting!

I second this motion. Only thing I can claim is that she was inspired by this thread.

Thank you @kokkuri33 and happy new year to you. Dae-Sang Award for your poem too, I love it, very in-details from a great fan

Yes as much as I want to give @immorethant the Dae-Sang, I think this nonchalant post by our court jester, our 'enfant terrible' was something that is worthy of Dae-Sang and more analysis for posterity. So to that end....

At 00:13 for about half a second - I don't know how @kokkuri33 could have known about this obscure video - I had only posted link to her audio previously somewhere.

Looking for this video for long time after seeing her IG post and some still photos.

Yas !!

SHS vs SHS vs SHS vs SHS

(from youtube caption : If you look closely, there is another hidden Shin Hye Sun. What is the total number of Shin Hye Sun in the video?)

Yes THANK YOU @immorethant this BoH commercial is 'inspired'' - so cleverly done esp with the captions. And I updated the 1st page with your 3 award gifs - thank you!

And in other news, Shin Hye-Sun renews her contract with YNK! For 3 more years!

The many articles on this signing are quick to point out her sense of loyalty to YNK.

@Ni Wen wow this is awesome! I had no idea some of these are so imminent! Thank you! I go for #1 and #6, and #5, in chronological order. Or all 3 - 3 on 1 - this summer! Let's vote on it!

EDIT

If she can't wait till Feb 115, let's throw him in the mix - Lee Je-Hoon - the proverbial 'one in the basket better than 9 in the bush'. His fan tweeter's caption on this pic was - "Because of her expression on SHS's face, I couldn't cut (her out)." Yes, we sympathize.

I hope SHS had a secret bidding war, behind the scenes, before re-signing with YNK. Have to maximize the won- never know what will happen in the future. (But I envision SHS glancing up from reading her script for "Innocent", telling YNK to renew her contract, and then going back to reading.)

As for the SBS Awards, I realized there was a major missed opportunity: why wasn't there excessive product placement? What would k-dramas be without excessive product placement?

Instead of giving the awards winners flowers, they could have been handed a trophy, and also a sandwich from the higher bidder between Subway/Quiznos.

Or maybe they could have been given plates of pork belly to grill up on those perfectly-sized circular tables?

If they don't shorten the ceremony, they really need to look into the snack situation...

Nonono (in Jennifer's tone), it won't work because it would make them hungrier by the "can see can't eat" notion. No one would want to take the risk of having meat stuck in their teeth while delivering their speeches Unless maybe there's a million dollar CF deal waiting out there for the best looking eater.

On a sidenote, I was expecting something from her excellent performance in Hymn of Death too. Have SBS lost their memory and forgot about this drama? At least create a Special Mention for a Short Drama right? Such a letdown from SBS.

And she's a trophy short again because SBS decided to give the Best Couple to a veteran pair who doesn't even expect to win it instead of the popular pair. Maybe they couldn't strike a deal between LJH couple and our Gongseol couple since both are the MC... so rather to let them "fight", SBS decides to award it to the Daesang winners. Trade in deal isn't that great afterall, for being such a pretty and cute MC (It was a fairly good one for her first MC attempt too), isn't it? Well, but our girl is such an angel that she probably didn't mind. Sorry that she has such a atrociously greedy spoilt-brat fan here

This is the first time that I watched K-drama award ceremony from beginning until the end and smiled for all 4 1/2 hours (mostly I watched only the parts that my favorite actor/actress to be announced). Love to see SHS as MC again and again in the future. So good to see her smile and laugh a lot, she seems relax and be herself than just sitting at audience seat looking nervous with a few time appearance on camera. And moreover, got a chance to see her with 2 beautiful gowns, I can't ask for more.

For the military discharged actor list, I choose #6 and #1 but actually prefer seeing SHS with Lee Jae Hoon, that would make a good drama with superb acting clash. Just my imagination again that paring SHS with him as MC may have something for speculation, to test their chemistry on appearance and audience acceptance, probably we will see this couple in an SBS drama in the 2nd half of the year (finger-crossed). I think the script already sent out to both now, but they just kept secret.

I expected either to see any nomination for HoD, unfortunately because of the awards weren't categorized as Mini-Series and Special Series drama (and this year SBS has only 2 special dramas, so it's difficult to make that award category). At first I think SHS will be nominated for both 30but17 + HoD for Mon-Tue drama, but as I think again I'm glad that she was nominated only from 1 normal-length drama , so that she had a fair winning and proved that only 1 drama is enough for her to win Top Excellence Actress. (However, in my opinion, with both 30but17 + HoD superb acting for two different characters, she should get Dae-Sang, only reason that she didn't win because she's not veteran enough yet, which I'm ok with that under Korean/Asian seniority-respect cultural context. But who knows, if 2019 she wins Top Excellence again for 3 years-in-a-row, it should be her time to be seriously and exceptionally considered for Dae-Sang) --- @Ni Wen another greedy spoilt-brat fan here too

P.S. Read many positive comments on Hymn of Death - a short drama but made massive impact because it's widely available on Netflix and has only 3 episodes (similar to a long movie), so it encourages lots of non-SHS fan or even non-K-drama fan viewer to try watching it. After watching and being impressed by her, many viewers now interested to follow her other works (and with good timing that 30but17 just won many awards, it's the best choice for new fan now). So now the new viewer loop begins among HoD <--> 30but17 <--> My Golden Life <---> (probably five enough, stranger) and so on.
